Psychedelic
Care

At Weaving Wholeness, we provide useful techniques and tools for the healthy integration of psychedelic experiences including those with plant spirit medicines. Our particular focus is to treat disturbances that may have followed these experiences. 

Due to an ever-increasing interest in psychedelics, more people are being introduced to plant medicines and other entheogens. Increasingly there is more information online and more opportunities for people to participate in these experiences, leading people to experiment alone, with friends, or with novice space holders. Sometimes, even with skilled space holders, people undergoing altered states are not able to receive the support they need from their community to make sense of the experience. In these instances, integration with a trained professional can help to resolve lingering issues after an experience with mind-altering substances.

Integration therapy can be divided into two main areas - maximizing benefits and reducing undesired adverse effects.

 

It is a diverse topic with multifaceted definitions and a wide range of practices. We focus on the prolonged reactions that occur and linger after the experience, as they are the ones more closely related to integration. We will work with you to understand what situation or experience has caused the present problems, and the factors that are contributing to ongoing issues, helping you to process the experience.

Our therapeutical framework derives from different sources. One of these is the work provided by ICEERS support service, based on years of direct work with real cases of patients that requested integration psychotherapy. Another is  the work of Marc Aixalá, a psychotherapist and author of the book Psychedelic Integration. We are also very inspired by the psycho-spiritual ‘Continuum of Care’ model for psychedelic integration that is used by Being True To You.

Even positive transcendental experiences can fade over time, and their impact on our well-being can become a fleeting memory. Due to the temporary state of psychedelic experiences, and the sometimes volatile and ethereal nature of insights received, the integration process can only be said to be complete when the fresh understandings gained are fully incorporated.
